IT is LOOKING UP.
The Real Estate Market Receives a
Fresh Impetus.
Mining and Manufacturing Interests
to Receive Attention.
New Additions to be Plated North
of the City.

The real estate market has received a
fresh impetus. ASIDE from the furry
incident to the proximity of the Cheyenne
q Burlington, the prospective early de-
velopment of Silver Crown, the certain
reopeninG of the rich Hartville mines and
the assured establishment of several man
utacturlng enterprises, there is a steady
influx OF new corners to the city. The
majority of the arrivals are desirable citi.
zens and at-once set about to secure homes
for themselves.
The agents for Minnehaba, Kelly and
Holdrege additions report steady sales at
good figures. Moneyed men inclined to
speculate extensively are scarce, though
heavy transfers take place almost daily.
Instead of an inflated boom, the city is
enjoying a healthy growth with most bril-
liant prospects. Outside of the real estate
offices there is a scarcity of sellers. A
person DESTROYS of securing posses
sion OF certain property will approach
the owner with a liberal offer. II don't
care to sell at present" is the usual re-
Spouse, and generally the final answer of
the average citizen who has Unreasonable
faith in Cheyenne, turns a deaf ear to the
vapid utterances and doleful predictions
of ne er-do-wells, and prefers investing in
city realty to relinquishing title to that
which he already owns,
a oaraful ipsnoot,a, &c .aza-l II
numerical comparison reveals the fact that
fewer mortgages have been executed this
year than last. This showing of itself is
most encouraging.
The purchase of a large tract of land
Immediately north of the city for a heavy
consideration by John Hess, the real
estate dealer, is another straw which
indicates the direction of the pre-
vailing breeze of prosperity.
The purchaser is already one of the
heaviest holders of suburban property
and by adding this deairable area to his
list substantially AYERS his faith in Chey-
enne.
10 a reporter last evening Mr.. Hess
stated that it was his intention to plat his
acquisition into city lots so soon as the
growth of Cheyenne would warrant such
a procedure. Every one is aware that
the gentleman has made a fortunate in
vestnent and it is hoped that it will be-
come necessary to subdivide the tract
mnch sooner than even the most enthusiast
tic would anticipate.

Thrown from a Horse.

Thomas Mcfarland is lying at the resi-
dence of his parents in the northeastern
part of the city suffering from the effects
of injuries sustained by being thrown
from a horse at Rock Greek several days
ago. In addition to a severe fracture of
the shoulder blade, the young man was
q1iet badly bruised, but will be able to be
about again in a few days. The same day
that young Mcfarland was in.
iured at Rock Greek a railroad brakesman
was almost killed by falling from a NOV.
ing train near the station.

CRUSHED BY A WHEEL.
Little Harry Merritt Injured at the
Union Pacific Yards.
The Flesh Torn From the
Boys Right Leg.
A PickpOcket Attempts to Rob
Coroner Chafin.


Harry Merritt, a slightly built urchin
about II years of age, narrowly escaped
being instantly killed in the Union Pacific
yards yesterday.
The pleasant faced lad has become a
familiar parsonage to switchmen and 9th
ers continually about the depot grounds,
he passing a greater portion of his time
about the yards. Occasionally the boy
gathers coal and wood from the debris
which collects about the track, but would
forget this occupation when other boys
appeared or when an opportunity to sur.
reptitlously secure a ride on the switch or
pony" engine presented itself. The
daring and agility of the precocious child
was something really remarkable. He
would grasp the rungs of a box car lad
der with the car moving at a high rate of
speed. Railroad men would drive him
from the yards and upon his return a
cigars that the coroner would be compelled
to collect the boys remains with a SCOOP
shovel some unlucky day. Yesterdays
oSOidOub diuhOo NtiihCu ClClT pre-
d~Ictions, but the injuries sustained by the
child were inflicted in an unexpected
manner. Young Merritt was within a
few feet of the end of a fiat car gathering
chips. So interested was the little work
er that he did not notice the approach OF
a switch engine. The locomotive struck
the car and 1t was propelled forward and
come in violent contract with Harry's
body. He was protrasted by the collision,
but made desperate efforts to struggle
from beneath the car. His leg was
caught by one OF the heavy wheels and
ground into a shapeless, bloody mass.
The feshy portion of the member was
torn completely from the tender bones
which it surrounded. An examination by
physician who was at once summoned dis.
closed the fact that the injury was not SO
serious asfrst supposed. When the attend
ant announced that no bones were broken
the declaration would have been discred-
tied were it uttered by anyone else.
The sufferings of the unfortunate child
are described as terrible. CHANGING at his
MANNED limb he would weep and beg for
relief. At a late hour last night he was
resting easily, but not entirely out of dan
ger. OF a frail constitution, the patient
may be unable to withstand the loss Of
blood and shock to his weak system.
No blame is attached to the railway
employees on account OF the accident,
it being one Of those unavoidable occurr-
ences which so often follow the frequent
ing of railway yards by children.

PlckpOcket.

While standing heal the corner of Six.
teenth and Ferguson streets Monday
evening, Coroner Chaffn was approached
and greeted by a rough looking man who
bad evidently been drinking quite heavily.
The stranger at once became very affec,
tionate and familiar and the %coroner's sus.
picions that he was an odd sort of genius
were verified when he attempted to sufo-
cate the official with a volume OF his ioul
breath and relieve him of his watch at the
same time. Though partially successful
IN the former, he ~signally failed in his
attempt to steal the timepiece. When
detected the stranger was %profuse in his
apologies, averring that his playful act
was the latest practical joke imported
direct from New York. After making
this explanation he hurriedly disappeared
toward the railroad track.
Mr.. Chafin Immediately notified Pc.
liceman Nolan of the occurrence, and the
officer started out in search of the light
fingered gentleman. He spotted the man
described by the coroner in a gambling
house, but refrained from arresting him
at once, hoping to detect him in the act of
attempting to rob someone else. The cul-
prit travelled from one saloon to another
until he became so intoxicated and noisy
that it was considered advisable to conine
him in the city Jail.
Yesterday the prisoner was identified by
MIR. .Chafin as the person who attempted
to pick his pocket, and he will be prose
cuted.

Marriage Bells.

A native daughter and native son, chill
dren of this golden land of sunshine and
flowers ought to make good partners along
the voyage Of life. Yesterday. w. Walter
Greer and Miss frankie Stevens HALEY
were united in marriage at the home of the
bride, Myron Smiths residence, on lower
Stockton road, in Sacramento county, by
Rev. A T. Needham. No cards were issued;
only a few of the near relatives of the con-
tracing parties were present, and the par
lors were beautifully decorated with ever
greens and choice flowers. Miss Maud
Nixon OF Sacramento OBLIGATED Is brides
maid, and Robert +. Greer. brother of the
groom, groomsman. After partaking of a
wedding breakfast and receiving congratu-
lations o. those present, the happy couple
took their departure on the afternoon train
for San Francisco to enjoy their honey
moon. On returning they will make Sac
ramento their future home. The young
couple have the hearty well-wishes of a
host OF friends, as they are both well and
favorably known in society in Sacramento,
and we eespeak for them happy, pleasant
and prosperous journey through life The
groom is well known in society circles, be-
ing President of Sunset Parlor, No. 20, n.
S. G. W, and also at the head of the
Grange organization in this city. The

plished young ladies. Both groom and

Nfonkeving with the Tariff.

The Democratic wool growers who have
been honored by their party with seats in
the halls Of legislation are silent on the
Presidents message question. Senator
Fred Cox would not attend the indignation
meeting held in Changers Hall on Monday;
neither did Hon. J. II. Miller, whom the
benighted Democracy of Ell Dorado county
sent to represent them in the Assembly
Miller owns sheep that feed " on a thousand
hills" but be is loyal 10 his Democracy,
true to the Administration, and cries 'Rah
for Free Trade" He says if he can't raise
sheep, he can cattle, and land around La
trobe is getting too valuable to pasture
sheep on anyhow, and says that Democrats
that 90 back on Grover don't deserve 10
have any business. Senator Cox don't
look on the dark side of the case and
tries to be charitable to the proprietor of
the White House. He is compelled to read
between the lines to find anything to COM
bat, but monkey as he may with the mes
sage it means a tariff primarily for revenue,
with incidental protection. One wool
grower said to Senator Cox, Senator, |
can't be q wooi-grower and good Demo-
crat and I'll be id if I am going to try.
The wool business and Jim Blaine will do
me. 'Rah for protection "
